“Aigoo. Don’t you worry approximately those , now. Can’t you spot that they actually haven’t even damaged a sweat on every occasion they arrive out of a Gate? except, we get three mil every raid, so it’s actually an terrific little bit of news for us. Oh, it’s your flip, my man. Hurry up and deal.”
“Ah, positive.”
indeed, both Jin-Woo and Yu Jin-Ho displayed not one trace of getting fatigued from preserving up with this seemingly-exhausting agenda.
Of route, these people had no idea, but such a feat turned into simplest viable thanks to the fabulous outcomes of the potions.
The duo were given to clear over one-1/3 of the planned 19 raids in any such brief amount of time exactly because of the potions.
A quick even as later, the Gate’s black-ish floor wavered unsteadily and people emerged from there.
